Tyson Foods Streamlines Organisation to Maximise Growth

16 August 2017

US - Tyson Foods, Inc. has streamlined its organisation in support of a growth strategy announced earlier this year, the company reported earlier this month. The new structure is designed around the company’s segments of Beef, Pork, Chicken and Prepared Foods.

"A dynamic market demands we become more agile while focusing on consumers, customers and the businesses that deliver our revenue and profit," said Tom Hayes, President and CEO of Tyson Foods.

Group presidents have been selected to lead Tyson’s segments end-to-end. Each will report directly to Mr Hayes and be responsible for growth strategy, execution and developing world class teams in all product categories and customer channels that their segments serve. The changes took effect immediately.

George Chappelle, Chief Integration Officer, will continue to lead the integration of AdvancePierre Foods then transition to the role of Chief Operations Officer, Prepared Foods, reporting to Sally Grimes.

With these changes, Andy Callahan, president, North American Foodservice & International, and Monica McGurk, Chief Growth Officer, will be leaving the company.

"On behalf of the board and management I would like to thank Andy and Monica for their hard work and valuable contributions to Tyson Foods, we wish them well," said Mr Hayes.

"We are excited about the direction in which Tyson Foods is headed and look forward to sharing our third quarter results on our earnings call scheduled for Monday, 7 August,” said Mr Hayes.
